- Debbie, August 2024
Peter July 2024

“Overall it was a good cottage.”

Microwave oven was a bit iffy and a winter duvet in mid-summer was a tad too much. The cottage itself was in a great position and nice and quiet. And good parking for our car. Well equipped cottage. And the owner left some treats for our doggie which was a nice gesture.

- Peter, July 2024
Leslie June 2024

Julie March 2024

“The property was in an excellent location to access the shops , beach and lovely costal walks .”

The property was clean and tidy. fully equipped kitchen , and bathroom . Tastefully decorated throughout the property . The next comment is a suggestion : to supply kitchen trivets when taking things from the oven . long brush for the laminate flooring . maybe , something at the bottom of the stairs to stop dogs from following you upstairs . Regards julie .

Yvonne November 2023

“Narnia cottage is beautiful and in a really good location with only a ten minute walk to the beach .”

The cottage itself is tucked away in a lovely quiet corner with no noise whatsoever and I’ll certainly be returning here .

- Yvonne, November 2023
Lee August 2023

“We stayed at this lovely cottage during August and had a great time with our two boys playing on the beach and riding the open-top bus between the bays.”

Everything was very clean and the kitchen was well-equipped. It is set back a bit from the road and we found it very quiet at night. Our boys our very young so we moved some nice furniture to avoid damage and used a couple of chairs as an improvised stair gate - but nothing we wouldn't have had to do elsewhere. We did have some worries about the parking since we have just got a bigger car - but, actually, we didn't have any problems. Although the turn off is on a fairly steep hill, you can then take your time reversing. We would love to return some time. Thanks!

- Lee, August 2023
Scott July 2023

“Excellent property in a good location for the town & beach, 10 min walk.”

We were a family of 4 including teenagers and a dog , and the size and rooms were perfect. The property is furnished beautifully and has all the comforts of a home from home

- Scott, July 2023
Julie June 2023

“Beautifully spacious and comfortable cottage.”

We seemed to find a new 'thing' to look at each day. Parking could be an issue if you have a large vehicle. A lovely walk down to the seafront from the cottage.

- Julie, June 2023
Valerie June 2023

“Very basic property located off a steep hill.”

Shared parking is difficult unless you have a small car and excel at reversing. The seaside theme throughout the house is a bit OTT especially as the property is a long way from the beach. Expensive for what it is. The mattresses and pillows urgently need renewing.

- Valerie, June 2023

The seaside theme reflects the fact that the cottage is only a 10 minute walk to the beach and feedback generally suggests that our guests like the theme. The off street parking is on the flat however is off a hill. The mattresses and pillows are new and are checked regularly for any wear and tear. There are spare pillows available. Thank you for your feedback. Property Owner

Marcus December 2022

“Lovely cottage with everything you'd need for your holiday.”

It was a real shame when we had to leave.

- Marcus, December 2022
Kerry October 2022

“We spent a lovely week at Narnia Cottage.”

It certainly was a home from home. The house was decorated beautifully, especially the second bedroom which our 4 and 5 year-old boys loved. The beds were so comfortable that they slept all night! The kitchen was extremely well equipped. I cooked most days and there was everything that I needed. The location was excellent with only a 10 minute walk into the town. There was a steep incline, but the house isn't very far up the hill and didn't cause us any problems. The only problem we had during our stay was getting woken up at 6am everyday by the neighbour getting ready for work. The neighbour's bathroom was next to Narnia's main bedroom and the walls were paper thin and we could hear everything! This would be the only reason why we wouldn't stay here again as the house was perfect in every other way.

- Kerry, October 2022
Marie August 2022

“The cottage was stunning and love our stay there.”

Would recommend to our family and friends.

- Marie, August 2022
Anne August 2022

“Lovely clean and comfy cottage.”

We would definitely recommend this cottage.

- Anne, August 2022
Shirley July 2022

“Comfortable and clean holiday house with a great location for Scarborough.”

Everything you need for a holiday. Big and fluffy bath towels. Comfortable beds and a lovely family house. The decor was lovely and reminded us of all the wonders of the beach.

- Shirley, July 2022
Pat May 2022

“The cottage was very nice clean and everything was there.”

My husband uses a wheel chair for walking a long way. The hill the cottage was on was very steep so I found that I used the car a lot more than I would normally. I didn’t think much of the bed and the plastic under cover made us sweat. I wouldn’t book this cottage if you had any walking difficulties. We did have a good holiday

- Pat, May 2022
Andrew April 2022

“Absolutely lovely clean and cosy cottage, we will be back again”

- Andrew, April 2022
Kathleen April 2022

“Really nice to arrive to Easter Eggs for the children.”

Many thanks.

- Kathleen, April 2022
Janet March 2022

“This was our third holiday at Narnia Cottage.”

The property is well equipped, clean, comfortable, and spacious. We wouldn't stay anywhere else in Scarborough. The Easter egg on arrival was a lovely touch.

- Janet, March 2022
George March 2022

“Spotlessly clean property, very well equipped kitchen, really comfy beds.”

Located only 10 minutes walk in Town Centre and Seafront.

- George, March 2022
David February 2022

“Great location and lovely walk into town/seafront.”

Would definitely stay again.

- David, February 2022
Ruth February 2022

“Stayed at Narnia cottage for a few days.”

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was spotless and had everything we could possibly need. It was located very near to the beach and was a good base for travelling further afield. All in all it was one of the best mini breaks we have ever had.

- Ruth, February 2022
Brian February 2022

“Although the property itself is very comfortable and in a decent location there are issues around parking if travelling by car.”

There is a huge gradient to the street outside and a tight driveway space not really suitable for purpose.

- Brian, February 2022
Eric October 2021

“Would definitely return to Narnia Cottage, tucked away in a quiet and prime position with it's own parking space, in walking distance to Scarborough town centre and the beach, a gem of a find, would highly recommend.”

- Eric, October 2021
Sarah August 2021

“Fantastic house- well equipped.”

Close to all amenities Clean and comfortable. Would book again. A must try - Tuscany Too. Italian restaurant a short walk away Had a fantastic stay- Thanks Christina

- Sarah, August 2021
Annemarie August 2021

“Beautiful little cottage - would highly recommend the accommodation!”

- Annemarie, August 2021
Stanley July 2021

“Just got back from a fab week at Narnia Cottage.”

The Cottage is spotlessly clean, comfy and cosy. With only 10 minute walk to the South Bay and 10 minute walk from the Town Centre this is in a great location too. We will be coming back for sure.

- Stanley, July 2021
Melissa October 2020

“Great place to stay in an ideal location.”

We had everything we needed and enjoyed our time away. It was like home from home!

- Melissa, October 2020
Janet September 2020

“We had a lovely week at Narnia Cottage.”

It is clean and comfortable with lots of storage space and in a good location for walks along the coastal path. The only downside of the holiday was going out for a meal or drinks just isn't the same at the moment but that's no reflection on the property. We won't hesitate to book again when things become more normal (hopefully!).

- Janet, September 2020
Gemma September 2020

“The cottage is in a really convenient area - 10/15 minutes walk to south bay and 10/15 minutes (uphill) walk to local amenities such as mini supermarket, chip shop and bakery.”

The cottage itself was very comfortable and we had everything we needed for a week long stay. The cottage is up a steep hill but it was only for a short part and we knew about it from previous reviews but it caused us no issues (with pram and dog).

- Gemma, September 2020
Malgorzata September 2020

“Nice and quiet location,cosy and perfect for families.”

Clean and close to the seaside,shops etc. Definitely will book it again

- Malgorzata, September 2020
Gaynor August 2020

“Excellent location and really good to have private parking.”

The owner contacted us before the holiday with really clear instructions on the cottage's location, parking and key access. A very comfortable property with easy to use facilities. Very clean, well equipped. We’re already planning when to return.

- Gaynor, August 2020
Geoff August 2020

“Ease and helpfulness of booking system.”

Quality of accommodation was high

- Geoff, August 2020
Malgorzata August 2020

“Nice,clean and cosy place to stay.”

The welcome doggie treat is a nice touch.

- Liz, August 2020
Daniel August 2020

“This is the 2nd time we’ve stayed in this cottage.”

We love the location and think it’s great value for money.

- Daniel, August 2020
Paul February 2020

“Really lovely property access up the steep hill is what spoilt it need to be a bit younger than us should say in listing”

- Paul, February 2020
Vicky February 2020

“It was hard to find as it was a court yard off the main road, as there was something in front of the sign”

- Vicky, February 2020
David September 2019

“Narnia was clean, compact but with plenty of space for the three of us.”

In a town where parking is obviously at a premium the off road parking was a worth it.

- David, September 2019
Lisa August 2019

“The holiday cottage was definitely a home from home experience.”

We would definitely book again. Narnia was clean and tidy. The location was fantastic. Couldn't fault it.

- Lisa, August 2019
Hannah June 2019

“Comfy beds, travel cot provided, lovely nautical-themed touches; our toddler loved the 'holiday house'.”

Friendly neighbour and nice outside space for when the weather is fine. Very spacious cottage, even the bath had lots of room! Only a 10 minute walk to the beach and 15 minutes to the train station/ edge of town. Nice park down the road. Only £6 in a taxi to town centre for an evening meal if you've done enough walking for the day.

- Hannah, June 2019
Karen June 2019

“Dog friendly which is important for our needs well located everything you could want home from home.”

lovely outside area which is nice if you have the weather really enjoyed it

- Karen, June 2019
Joyce May 2019

“This is a really comfortable cottage, well presented and has some very nice touches.”

A pleasant surprise - Netflix - and the WiFi was superb. The cottage was very clean and milk, a box of chocolates and cereals, left by the owner, were a lovely thought. The thing that spoilt it was the claim that it was only ten minutes from the beach and no mention was made of the steep hill leading to the cottage. I booked the cottage with the claim it was only a ten minute walk, but it took at least 20 mins, with the return journey uphill nearly all the way. This caused problems for me. Again I wouldn’t have booked the cottage, knowing it was on a steep hill. Also there is parking just outside the cottage, but the entrance drive to the cottage is very narrow in places. With only an average sized car, we found it difficult. With a big car nearly impossible,and you cannot park on the main road as it is disc parking only, and you are liable for a fine. Our little dog enjoyed herself though, and with the garden being fully enclosed, it was perfect for her. Though, because of the points mentioned, I would not go to Narnia again, but our stay was nevertheless enjoyable.

- Joyce, May 2019
Pauline May 2019

“Great secure and quiet place to stay with friendly immediate neighbours that share gated enterance.”

The house is clean and comfortable. It cost £7 from town centre in taxi. If walking there are some steep banks which wasnt a problem for us but may be for people with mobility issues. Milk, cereal tea etc already there for our use also a box of chocolates. Great communication from host, self check in and out with no issues. We will be looking to book again in the future. Thanks

- Pauline, May 2019
Alan April 2019

“This is a delightful cottage situated close to everything Scarborough has to offer.”

It is located in a quiet area and is clean and tastefully decorated.

- Alan, April 2019
Derek March 2019

“Nice and quiet Netflix was a bonus Enjoyed the location”

- Derek, March 2019
Carmen February 2019

“Narnia exceeded our expectations, a home from home.”

Comfortable, clean, modern and we didn't want for anything. Our boys loved their room and having Wi-Fi, they loved the quietness of the cottage and comfort. We were superbly located to walk to the beech and also to the local park at Falsgrave. Off street parking was a bonus. We will definitely be returning.

- Carmen, February 2019
Joanne January 2019

“This is the fourth time we have booked our holidays through Sykes and each time has been brilliant, the accommodation has always been clean and very cosy, we will be booking again very soon.”

Thank you

- Joanne, January 2019
Shirley November 2018

“What a lovely comfortable cottage Extremely well furnished with everything you could ever need.”

Close to shops, beach and public transport. Many thanks to Sykes for having such quality accommodation.

- Shirley, November 2018
Stephen November 2018

“We were very pleasantly surprised when we arrived at Narnia cottage.”

It was well furnished with comfortable sofas and beds. The facilities were well appointed with everything catered for. We arrived on Friday 2nd November and settled in immediately until departure on Monday 5th. The cottage is a good place to explore from and nice to get back to. Though the cottage isn't entirely secluded, with it's small courtyard, it felt like it. The only drawback is the steep approach to the cottage. It might be advisable to make this apparent in the description. People with mobility issues will have problems walking to and from the cottage. Overall,a very pleasant short break and we would certainly consider going back and recommending it to friends and family.

- Stephen, November 2018
Jenny September 2018

“Owner? Came in with linens during stay.”

Presume she would have come in if I had not been in the building and felt very unhappy about that. Also, neighbours doing diy late at night and noise carrying the cottage.

- Jenny, September 2018
Patricia September 2018

“This was the first time i had used sykes cottages , but so far i have recommened them 5 times .”

very frindly helpful staff ,excellent customer care. the cottage i booked was narnia cottage in scarborough and it was above and beyond my expectations ,prices are also really good

- Patricia, September 2018
Hilda August 2018

“I appreciated the efficient cooker , straightforward microwave and good sized fridge and freezer.”

..............along with ample work surface it made catering away from home very easy.

- Hilda, August 2018
Karen June 2018

“The cottage is beautifully decorated and furnished with seaside-themed mugs, pictures etc.”

The lounge is very comfortable and spacious and like a show home. We were surprised by the attention to detail and the kindness of the owner who provided bread, milk and biscuits for our arrival. We had a great time and will go back as soon as we can.

- Karen, June 2018
Heather May 2018

“This cottage was one of the most comfortable and welcoming we have ever stayed in.”

Extremely spacious and tastefully decorated to a high standard. Short stroll to the beach with all its amenities. Even our little dog didn't want to leave!!!

- Heather, May 2018
Jacqueline May 2018

“Narnia cottage was immaculate, beautifully decorated, ideally located and the amenities were easy to use.”

We didn't want to go back home. The cottage is a credit to the owner. We,ll be back. Best place we've been in the last 13 years.

- Julie, April 2018
Alex March 2018

“As soon as we walked into Narnia cottage our holiday began, the entrance opened into a dinning area comfortable for four adults sitting to eat.”

The home away from home comfort factor, continued into the sitting room which was large and contained 2x3 seater sofas and still left plenty of space to move around. The galley kitchen was well laid out with lots of storage space and adequately equipped for 4+ people. The holiday themed décor was bright and was a cheerfull reminder of why we were there. The 2 bedrooms were lovely the main one containing what I'm sure was a kingsize bed and still had plenty of space to move around to access the bedroom furniture. The second bedroom had 2 single beds that were well positioned to take advantage of the size and room layout. The bathroom bath /shower layout worked well because as bathrooms go it was larger than average. My wife and I were very impressed overall and it made our holiday as good as it gets.
